  • help please. yesterday, my account Hotmail deleted all my emails and contacts on pc. now, all the contacts on iPhone 5s also disappeared. attempted to recover from the clouds, but it didn't work. Help?...

    I lost all contacts and emails.

    Have an iPhone 5s (new in December) using the latest operating system. Back to contacts with cloud, photos etc. have in desperation tried restore from the backup that I did in December but has not worked or the data is missing. I can't see the contents of the backup file, but it is one that I used when I changed service provider in December, it should be there.

    I guess the problem is somehow related to my problems to Hotmail because it seems too much a coinsidence have the same problem on both

    Advice on the possible reason of the restoration did not work and how to fix would be much appreciated

    Recovering contacts from Hotmail is done by adding the account hotmail on iPhone.

    FYI iCloud do not back up the information that are already synchronized, and your hotmail contacts are synchronized with the iCloud contacts and Hotmail servers (if you had them would be synchronized with the iCloud server).

    To retrieve the contacts to iCloud you would go to icloud.com on the computer and go to settings after you open a session. In settings, you will find backups of your information is synchronized usually some contacts/calendars and other files, and you can choose the one you want to restore, but iCloud does not restore the hotmail contacts.

  • All my tiles and documents are gone & my computer will not regenerate

    I turned on my computer this morning and my desktop image was changed, all my documents are gone and I have 3 tiles left Office Internet Explorer and store. I tried to right click in the lower right corner, but there was only the previously mentioned 3. I tried refreshing my PC, but it won't let me not entered to the top could not refresh. I got the documents on the pc where I had worked on for weeks and they are not in the history of the files either or one of the 150 photos.
    Please help me.

    You must confirm the first though if someone created a new administrator account so that you old account can be disabled or removed.

    In the case where non of above things that happened your pc can hit for some viruses then I would say to retrieve your data deleted first.
    Data recovery, you can use any freeware program like Recuva and make sure you select another drive of recovered data. You can make this setting any external hard drive or a separate partition.
    Once you have retrieved all your files, then I would recommend to perform a clean boot of formatting your hard drive and install a fresh copy of windows. Thank you
  • All the icons and shortcuts are gone from my computer screen.

    I down loaded a wiget google today and subsequently, I have experienced this problem. All my programs and all shortcuts are availble by Explorer and open the folder deshtop. They work very well, but the computer screen does not display them. When I opened the they seem normal, so it doesn't seem to be a problem with the monitor. When I try to drag or send to, or save, I get a message that says that they cannot be sent to their current location. The computer knows that they are in the file offers / office but don't show them on the screen. I have add / remove programs but no change. I sent a file that was in a different place and it went in the desktop folder but not on the screen. It's like there's a toggle to see the show/don ' t somewhere. There is no corruption in the programs or files. Thank you for any advise you can give.

    Attached to this day! I was able to run the restore and the date prior to the event. Only problem was Norton, I had to uninstall and re-installed but now works perfectly!

  • I opened outlook express and all my emails and I created folders disappeared. Are they gone forever? Ideas?

    I opened outlook express and all my emails and I created folders disappeared. Are they gone forever? Ideas?

    It looks like a new OE has been created? File | Identities. Y at - it a list?
     
    If this is not the case, look for your message store folder. While following the path, when you get to the identities, see if there is a second appearing, and if this identity has for folders dbx files you are missing.
     
    Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.
     
    In Windows XP, Win2K & Win2K3 the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.
     
    The path to the message will be very similar to this:
     
    C:\Documents and Settings\Your User of utilisateur\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\ {long string of letters & numbers} \Microsoft\Outlook Express
  • TB c. 24.0: changed ISP. ~ new email in the settings of the server & Server outgoing & all address books and Contacts; TB still shows the old email ID for Fwd & Rply

    TB c. 24.0, Win 7 Pro. Change of ISP. I use Outlook 2007; woman uses TB, same box. TB change username & email address in the settings of the server & outgoing server & default value. E-mail address changed in all address books and Contact lists. Now the TB still shows the old Correo electronico in < from > when reply or forward. It's confusing beneficiaries, who have sent their responses on a now non-existent account offshore. Check the Contacts Windows - empty. Check my Outlook 2007 - all Contacts changed appropriately. How do I kill this old TB e-mail address when it is not yet listed more - except when we try to reply or forward?

    Thank you! I don't remember the old data (ports, password, etc.) to re-create the old account to my wife several months ago and with a different ISP - I had written all this down, but it was destroyed in a fire at home - but you put me on the right track. I created a new account (sub?) via file > new > account existing with new information, verified mail he was working and then deleted the new subaccount. Now that works. Duh.

  • Is it possible that I can see how much space is being taken up by all my emails and their attachments?

    Original title: STORAGE PROBLEM

    Is it possible that I can see how much space is being taken up by all my emails and their attachments? If I right click on an email it tells me the size, but if I try to highlight all emails the properties button is grayed out.

    For Windows Live Mail, go to C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail, right-click on the folder and select Properties.

    You may need to show hidden files. Type the Folder Options in the search box above the Start button and select view advanced settings and check that the box "display files and folders" and 'Hide protected operating system files' are not checked. You may need to scroll down to see the second element. You should also make sure that the box before "Hide extensions of known file types" is not checked.

    I don't know about Chrome.

  • I uninstalled aurora and now all my favorites and passwords are left of firefox 4, how can I recover my bookmarks and passwords

    I uninstalled aurora and now all my favorites and passwords are left of firefox 4, how can I recover my bookmarks and passwords?

    Sorry you have coming.

    See the attached screenshot. If you selected the option to remove my Aurora (nightly minefield, Firefox) the personal data and customizations you deleted all your profiles for each version you have / had installed. You can try to use a program for recovering files, like Recuva, to see what can be salvaged.

    The bookmarks to the file places.sqlite , or among the backup of bookmarks Favorites-aaaa-mm-jj.json files (10 are stored). Regarding your passwords, you need the file signons.sqlite and signons3.txt file.

    I think I have 2 Apple ID. They each have their own email and they are both mine. How can I fix it?

    Here's how it works: you can change your Apple ID email address and your content will move you to your new email address using the same Apple ID. An identifier Apple can not be combined with the ID or another address, it will survive as its own Apple ID yes I know I content purchased under more than one Apple ID and am stuck with it also.

  • BlackBerry Z10 Z10: Synchronization of emails does not work since yesterday (calendar and contacts are ok but)

    Hello

    Since yesterday for (at least for me) reasons unknown my Z10 refuses to synchronize emails with gmail; has worked without any problems for months before.

    Symptoms: calendar and contacts are synchronized but not e-mail.

    I tried to delete the account and setting up again. Same results: contacts and calendar works, but not by e-mail.

    Error message: "your contacts and your calendar accounts have already been added. Currently, the server imap.gmail.com is unavailable and your email account cannot be added. "Please try again later".

    Please note that I sync with gmail via IMAP old plain - and IMAP synchronization works smoothly on my PC (thunderbird).

    Does anyone else has experienced this problem since yesterday?

    Any cure?

    Thank you very much in advance for your help.

  • BlackBerry BACKUP OF EMAILS and CONTACTS software

    Hello - I'm still working my way around my new Z10 BB and now faced with the backup of my emails and contacts. I installed BB connection on my desktop and tried to back up my music, photos and videos, but can't see it on my desktop folder ... I also want to back up my emails and contacts, but I do not see where to do that. Previously, I had BB 9900 and the backup was simple and fast... Please help me solve my problems of backup.  Thank you very much.

    Hello

    The backup process is simple. If you perform a full backup, all your data is included in the files that will be created on your PC. If you perform a partial backup (there are 3 available selections), then you select should be included in the backup files. But in any case these backup files must be "readable"... rather, they are encrypted and encoded, with their sole purpose being to be used as a source for a restoration that becomes necessary.

    Indeed, the granularity of the backup/restore process is as much as possible with legacy devices and the desktop software. This is the way it is, at least for now.

    Good luck!
